That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES POINSETTIA COMMUNITY PARK - CUP 05-12, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is located. The continued operation of the community park is compatible with surrounding development, provides adequate landscape buffers and setbacks, protects natural open space, accommodates the trail system, provides quality park facilities and recreational programs to ensure that residents of the City are afforded the opportunity to enjoy the optimum leisure experiences, both active and passive. The community park is not detrimental to the existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located since all necessary parking is provided onsite. In addition, the lights for the active sports fields would remain on in the evenings no later than 1O:OO PM and light spillage and glare on adjacent properties would be minimized. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use as evidenced by the fact that the proposal meets all required ordinances, has many active sports facilities and still preserves natural open space areas onsite. That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained as is evidenced by the property line setbacks, landscape buffering and screening on slopes and along property lines. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use because access to the project is provided by a non- loaded collector street and onsite circulation is facilitated by 24 foot wide driveways that lead to onsite parking areas and can accommodate two-way traffic. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 1530 1 , Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
